Metal Gear Solid 4 is, imo, worth the hype. I've played through 7 times. Yeah. Anyway, playing MGS 1 would help, and perhaps MGS 3. Two was just there to introduce raiden and vamp. The stories are seperate, with a few references to ealier games (especially the Shadow Moses Stage).
I suggest playing the older ones. There is a 3 pack of 1, 2, and 3 available for $30 (just make sure u have backwards compatibility). This is very nice to add to your collection.
$2 This is a GREAT price.
So, most characters are returning from MGS 1, and the flashback movies can be better understood with past experience, but no, they're not required. You can always read the plots on the internet. Get it, especially for 20 bucks :D.
